Monitoring system for ensuring cooperation between worker and robot in human robot cooperation system, has control unit that controls robot using position of worker and region crossed by worker and robot in and/or from danger area

摘要

The monitoring system has a recognition unit that detects position of worker (3) and/or movement behavior of body portions of worker. A monitoring sensor defines and monitors the danger area around robot (2), in which the stay of worker is not allowed or only limited, and/or defines and monitors confinements of danger area for detection of regions in which worker and/or the robot is crossed in and/or from danger area. A control unit controls robot as a function of position of worker, movement behavior of the worker, and optionally detected region crossed by worker and/or robot. An independent claim is included for a method of performing safe control of robot in human robot cooperation system.
